A blistering pace was set on a warm, muggy morning in the road race sponsored by David Lundgren.

A man from Derry won the men’s division with a blistering fast pace in the 16-minute range. (Actual names to be inserted later!)

A very speedy but disappointed Londonderry track team member finished second, tho clearly winning on style points. The young men always have a theme – one year they ran with red capes as a Quiddich team, but this year’s Hawaiian grass skirt them was a huge hit with spectators. Congratulations to our Londonderry Lancer Track Team winner! He had also finished second to the Derry winner last year but the 2015 pace was much quicker.

Crowd favorite Amy Bernard run the women’s division for the third year in a row. The 5K race goes up a very steep hill from Mack’s Apples and keeps going up and up.

Wednesday night the senior cookout started Old Home Day off with fantastic food and music. The amazing Lions cooked up hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixins’. There was potato salad with yummy ice cream and cookies for dessert. This was followed by a wonderful concert by the Windham Swing band. One of the trombonists revealed to this intrepid reporter that they are not all from Windham! “We’re from all over!” he said.

Falveys Enjoy Dinner

Jack Falvey and his wife have been active in LTown for years. Last year Jack was a leader of the Save Woodmont Apple Trees (SWAT) team. Enjoy those trees on the perimeter of the Woodmont development. They will help remind of us the community’s agricultural roots.

Sharon Carson and Kevin Smith Dish Out Delicious Potato Salad

Many of the people enjoying Senior Cookout and the Windham Swing Band are the heart and soul of our community. Carole Connolly was the Grand Marshal of the OHD parade last year. Kims Bringhurst is on the Board of our wonderful Leach Library.

Below, Kims Bringhust and friends are having a great time time. They’ve got a deck of cards, and ice cream and cookies are about to be delivered to them. Life doesn’t get any better!

Frozen is a movie you can watch over and over (and over). Princesses Anna and Elsa go through a lot of emotion and icy conditions. The hit song, “Let It Go” has been a phenomenon and an inspiration to girls (and boys and grown-ups) the world over.

Kidz Night is a highlight of Old Home Day, especially if you are a kid who is 10 or under. There are clowns, bounce houses, food, game and activities. Smiling faces abound. It’s a wonderful time for parents too!
Location: Common

This is a great ride, with a tethered hot-air balloon, so it’s very safe. You get a view of our amazing L-Town, recently ranked the 2nd best town in NH ( Portsmouth was #1).
